In the intricate scene of the Ugandan music scene, where collaborations and competitions interweave, King Saha's release of 'Zakayo' added a new thread to the complex narrative of musical friendships and rivalries. The diss track, aimed at Bebe Cool by Jose Chameleone sparked conversations not only for its bold lyrics but also for the dynamic relationships between the artists involved.

A recent revelation from Chameleone, the legendary Ugandan artist and mentor to both Saha and Bebe Cool, sheds light on the behind-the-scenes harmony and tensions that preceded the song's release.

Chameleone, known for his influential role in shaping the careers of many Ugandan artists, shared insights into the prelude of 'Zakayo' during a recent interview. Contrary to the typical secrecy surrounding diss tracks, Saha chose a different path by visiting Chameleone before releasing the song. "Actually before he released that song I was aware of it," Chameleone confirmed, reflecting the camaraderie between the two artists.

In a candid admission, Chameleone revealed that Saha played him the track at his house, seeking a veteran's perspective on the bold move. "He came and played it for me at my house, and I was like, well, do your thing, you know better," said Chameleone. The gesture of sharing the diss track with a mentor and fellow artist highlighted the respect and trust that exist among these musicians.

However, Chameleone acknowledged a contradiction in his statements, noting that Saha did not explicitly inform him about the song's target. The revelation adds an intriguing layer to the dynamics between the artists, leaving room for speculation about the extent of knowledge and intentions shared in that pivotal moment.

Both Bebe Cool and King Saha hold a significant place in Chameleone's musical journey. He mentored Saha, and Bebe Cool supported him in the early stages of his career, creating a complex web of connections and loyalties. The diss track, while a manifestation of Saha's apparent grievance with Bebe Cool, underscores the multifaceted nature of relationships within the Ugandan music fraternity.

Chameleone, in a video shared by a reporter, commended Bebe Cool for his composed response to 'Zakayo.' He expressed admiration for Bebe Cool's ability to handle the situation without resorting to negativity. "As long as music doesn't inspire violence and is respectful, using it to stimulate competition is okay," Chameleone remarked, encapsulating the nuanced perspective of a seasoned artist.

The origins of the Saha-Cool beef reportedly trace back to the Tubonga Nawe project, in which Saha participated without receiving payment for his contribution. Bebe Cool, responsible for the payment, allegedly overlooked compensating Saha for his involvement in the song released for President Yoweri Museveni's 2016 election campaign.

In 'Zakayo,' Saha doesn't hold back, delivering pointed lyrics that criticize Bebe Cool's approach to work and alleged greed. The diss track became a focal point of controversy, with Bebe Cool dismissing it in his controversial list of top artists in 2022. Bebe Cool labeled the song as average, suggesting that its popularity was confined to those who harbored animosity towards him.

The release of 'Zakayo' and the subsequent reactions from both artists add layers to the intricate mosaic of Ugandan music. While diss tracks are not uncommon in the industry, the transparency of Saha's approach, seeking counsel from a mentor, adds a unique dimension to the narrative. The camaraderie, tensions, and artistic expressions within this musical ecosystem continue to shape the evolving landscape of Ugandan music.
